i wasnt saying lactic acid for building muscle. but lactic acid is proven to stimulate growth hormone. And this is useful for fat loss. that is 100% documented and true, i was only asking what peoples opinions experiences were not trying to start some kind of argument....

for weight loss is a particular rep range more beneficial? i have read that higher rep ranges produce more lactic acid which is beneficial to weight loss?

drops sets, rest pause, supersets actually all use this principle in part, taking very short rest and continue lifting, it increases lactate in muscles.

so ive had a look at gaz's site and i saw destroy and flood and realised its quite different to other types of training. i had a look into why it worked, and the heavy set is like conventional heavy lifting micro damage raise in testosterone etc. but the flood part i found interesting after...

anyone else got experience of a similar thing?

is there a benefit to doing days that are different rep ranges, ie if your doing an A B A routine, the first A you do heavy between 5-8 reps each exercise, next time you do A you do a lighter weight ie 10-12 reps, i guess its a form of periodisation?

ive decided im gonna put rdl's in on leg day as a hamstring exercise, thanks for all those giving advice thus far.

thanks ALBOB will have a read up on that, this type of routine is ok if you aren't on a cycle isnt it?

i'll give it a go doing it that way around, but im gonna switch to bb press for a while anyway so will be able to do it with a wider stance

im doing db bench as bb bench seems to sometimes make my back ache, its harder to keep hands far apart with db's. and the set up itself for db's takes quite a lot out of you, i'll try and alternate db bench and bb bench, its weird i can actually bench more with db's....thats all ive been using...

did push today, the only issue i have currently is my triceps give up before my chest, i guess in time it'll even up

thanks to all that have posted, some really helpful stuff here. and no problem Hubauer, thanks for the link i'll have a read through of that

ha ha no, push/pull/legs is a very popular routine! plus was he doing an upper/lower split? it says ABA. if i was him why would i make another thread asking a similar thing? plus in that quote he's talking about him NOT wanting to go to failure, ive specifically stated i will be, im sure he got...

cool thanks, how did you do on it? good gains?

looking to start a new routine been doing an upper/lower split for about 6 months. looking to try a push/pull/legs routine with the goal for hypertrophy. here it is, thoughts please, will be eating as much as i can, im 5 9 and 155lbs, each set taken to failure/near failure hence why there isnt...
